**Review for Holiday Inn Express & Suites Garland E - Lake Hubbard**
I recently had an outstanding experience at the Holiday Inn Express & Suites Garland E - Lake Hubbard. During my stay, I accidentally left my phone behind when I checked out. I was quite worried, but the staff's exceptional service put my mind at ease.
After realizing I had forgotten my phone, I contacted the hotel, and the team was incredibly helpful. They quickly located my phone and assured me they would keep it safe until I returned. Their prompt and caring response truly exceeded my expectations.
When I came back to retrieve my phone, the staff greeted me warmly and had it ready and waiting. Their professionalism and willingness to go the extra mile made a potentially stressful situation much easier.
I highly recommend Holiday Inn Express & Suites Garland E - Lake Hubbard not only for their excellent accommodations but also for their remarkable customer service. Thank you to the wonderful staff for making my experience so positive!

Overall, a nice stay. The breakfast was very good, the fitness area was well equipped, and the beds were comfortable.
That said, the overall cleanliness of the hotel could use more attention. There was noticeable dust and dirt on the hallway carpet, and the elevator floors did not appear to have been cleaned recently. With better attention to these details, this would be a solid stay.

We stayed here for a few weeks due to having a flood in our house. We spoke to the manager about our situation and he made sure we had a great stay. He accommodated our family to make sure we were comfortable. Rooms are very clean and breakfast is great

This is the absolute best value on Lake Ray Hubbard by far. The lobby is beautiful, modern and spacious. Parking is easy, and check in was fast and pleasant. The location is perfect. Several restaurants with outstanding views of the lake are right next door.
There is plenty of shops and other restaurants on the Rockwall Harbor which is just a 3 min drive over the bridge out front. The free breakfast was excellent and plenty of options to choose from.
The rooms need updating as do the hallways. The carpet is old and tired. Removing carpet entirely would be an immediate and much needed upgrade. Some of the furniture is also a bit worn out, stained and in some cases falling apart.
Some of the rooms are a bit worn. Several light bulbs were out in both our rooms we tried and I found a small roach crawling in the shower the next morning.
For the price, you can’t beat it. The rooms were cleaned and there is a nice pool area out back. With some updates this place could easily charge almost double what these rooms are going for.
We will definitely try to stay here again. It’s easily the best value for the money on Lake Ray Hubbard.
